Verse:
AmGCF
We arrived in December and London was cold
CGF
We stayed in the bars along Charing Cross Road

We never saw nothin' but brass taps and oak
CGFG
Kept a shine on the bar with the sleeves of our coats

You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best

I've been gone for a week

Will soon be my death

I'm so sick from the drink

I need home for a rest
Take me home....

Verse:
AmGCF
Euston Station the train journey North
CGF
In the buffet car we lurched back and forth
AmGCF
Past old crooked dykes through Yorkshire's green fields
CGFG
We were flung into dance as the train jigged and reeled
CHORUS:
GCG
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
CF
I've been gone for a week
G
I've been drunk since I left
G
And these so-called vacations
CG
Will soon be my death
CF
I'm so sick from the drink
GF
I need home for a rest
Take me home....

Verse:
AmGCF
By the light of the moon, she'd drift through the streets
CGF
A rare old perfume, so seductive and sweet
AmGCF
She'd tease us and flirt, as the pubs all closed down
CGFG
Then walk us on home and deny us a round
CHORUS:
GCG
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
CF
I've been gone for a month
G
I've been drunk since I left
G
And these so-called vacations
CG
Will soon be my death
CF
I'm so sick from the drink
GF
I need home for a rest
Take me home....
Break:

Verse:
AmGCF
The gas heater's empty, it's damp as a tomb
CGF
The spirits we drank now ghosts in the room
AmGCF
I'm knackered again, come on sleep take me soon
CGFG
And don't lift up my head 'till the twelve bells at noon
CHORUS:
GCG
You'll have to excuse me, I'm not at my best
CF
I've been gone for a month
G
I've been drunk since I left
G
And these so-called vacations
CG
Will soon be my death
CF
I'm so sick from the drink
GF
I need home for a rest
